اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفَجْأَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَدْمِ عِمَارَةٍ، وَمِنْ جُهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, the reversal of the well-being You granted, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that You decree of Your displeasure. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the demolition of structures, the hardship of tribulation, the attainment of misery, the evil of fate, and the rejoicing of enemies.
